Patience is a Virtue

Good morning all!  I hope you had a fantastic week.. It’s hump day and I’ve got something to show you.  You know how I keep joking there’s a thrift fairy that floats around me, but seriously….I’m really starting to believe it’s true.  Patience is truly a virtue.  I’ve been looking for a chair for my office space ever since I completed it (you can see the transformation here) I’d been contemplating recovering the chair I’m using but had to face it.. it was too big, however, since I had it around, I’ve been using it until the right one came along.   I needed a chair that wouldn’t eat alot of space and yet be comfortable.  I visited my sister in Jersey this past week and was itching to get to a Goodwill.  Well we chucked on down to one in Springfield on Route 22.. and guess what I found as soon as I walked in the door.  YES!!  The perfect chair.  Ok.. I didn’t take the picture at Goodwill (battery died) but got it home and here is my Goodwill find.

 

I researched it and discovered it’s an Ikea Tobias chair that retails for $100.00.

The chair fits perfectly and it’s very comfortable.  It makes my cozy little office space feel more open.

 

Well the absolute best part of it.. I paid $14.99 for it!!!

Lol!!!  Yes!  So, as I say, patience is a virtue.. eventually you’ll find what you’re looking for at the right price.

 

A total score!!!

  1. NO KIDDING you have a thrift fairy on payroll!!!! Girl, you scored like Willie Mays!!! This was a super, super find!!! It is perfect for the small space and totally stylish! Bravo for you!!

  2. Decorators say to use glass or anything clear furniture when a space is small and this chair was truly perfect. I hadn’t seen your office before and I really like it. What a cool chair.
